I think this is the easy way out for Blizzard. Overall it will probably be a good thing for the game and increase the number of subscribers, so I don't blame them for doing it, but I'm guessing it's going to take out the part I enjoy most about this game (and what I thought many other multiboxers do too) - being different than the norm.
For some classes it's an illusion of choice. Simply because EVERYONE does it, I don't remember the last time a resto druid didn't take wild growth...

So to get your abilities that you want now you are locked in, you just have the choice to skip them and not have them...Which isn't that much of a choice since most of them you want.

Class spec really doesn't mean much for being different in the long run when everyone else ALREADY has mostly the same talents and talent specs you do. Especially if you are a theorycrafter...
